A Crucial Tip To Observe When Selling Your Photos
Whilst there is an undoubted opportunity at present to make a substantial income by selling your digital photos online there are still some crucial steps that need to be observed in order to convert those pictures that are taken into pictures that are sold.
In my experience I have found that successful commercial photography comes down to 30% photography and 70% marketing. In fact, it is my sincere belief that an amateur photographer with the right marketing nous can outgun a professional photographer in certain markets in terms of pictures sold.
One of the most crucial things to get right when selling your digital photos is to make sure that you position your work correctly with your customer.
IT IS ALL ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE
How do we measure the intrinsic value of something? We cannot: what is valuable to me may not necessarily be valuable to you. The value of a thing cannot be separated from the person who is doing the valuing.
This is a very important concept to take heed of when you go into the marketplace to sell your digital photos.
Now the fact of the matter is that one of your digital photos may have cost you exactly nothing to take. Does that mean it is worth nothing? No. Your humble photo may be the central image on a web page that generates thousands of dollars each month in sales.
You may already have an inkling of this but it is very important not to forget it whilst you are in the midst of the sales process. Specifically, DO NOT go out and underbid your competitors in order to win business. Why? Because you are immediately creating a perception in the mind of your customer that your work is inferior to that of your competitors.
What you need to do is not have the lowest bid but to clearly define exactly why it is that your bid is of value to the customer. You can do this by showing proofs and documentation of previous work and by being professional in the way you go about the bid. Take these steps and you are more than likely to win the job over lower bidders.
Another way to approach this is to adopt the mindset of your potential customer. Would you want to be in a position whereby you accepted the lowest bid and received back shoddy work, thereby forcing you to go back to one of the higher bidders and get the work done again, compromising your deadlines and forcing you to pay more than was originally necessary? I would imagine the answer is no. This is the potential worry that your customer has when looking at bidders. You can put his mind at ease by assuring him that your price is both fair based on market research and a guarantee of quality.
In certain field such as wedding photos and portrait shots it is nearly all about perceived value. After all, everyone knows how to take a photo so why would they pay anyone at all? Because they feel that paying someone else will give them control over the final product and that because that someone else is a professional ,will deliver work to an acceptable standard.
Deliver work that is to standard your customer has in mind and you will have a happy customer who will be a repeat buyer and a referral agent.

Photo Value Question
Aside from star quality or stats, what determines card values? Photo poses, age, rarity?
I’m asking this to help me seperate them for value & reduce space. I have come across many hundreds, maybe thousands of baseball cards from the 1987-1991 period, some still in boxes, all in pristine condition and I want to reduce quantity without tossing something of value.
Of course all of the things you’ve mentioned play a big part. But…if you have a card of a star or hall of famer, one of the main things that card collectors look for is centering. If the picture and info is not exactly centered, it won’t be worth nearly as much as one that is.
You should also check into “grading” the ones you think would be the most valuable. Different companies will inspect your card and give it a 1-10 grade. They check for centering, not bent corners, discoloring, etc. Hope this helps!
Canon 35-350mm L lens is it a good lens to buy?
i know it was released 1993 or something but is this a still good lens to buy?
talking about value, and for the price i will pay which is $700 cash on craigslist. Is it worth $700?
does the 35-350mm L lens still obtain the same quality photo as recent ‘L’ lenses?
I will be using this on my canon 30D. let me know thanks.
its a good Lens in a dry day if that is the sort of equipment you want to use. $700 is probably at the top end for this type of Lens technology, offer $500 maximum because that is all this one is worth. Remember the Canon 35-350mm L is heavy to carry around and is not weather proofed against moisture ingress, so not much use out on the sportsfield on a rainy day.
